As fundamentalist and extremist violence increases across Canada under the leadership of Justin Trudeau, Hindus are being targeted by Khalistani terrorists across the North American nation. Hindu temples and places of worship are facing serious threats from extremists.
The Triveni Temple and Community Center in Brampton, one of the most densely populated cities in Canada where people of Indian origin live, had to cancel an event after warnings of “extremely high levels of violent protest.”
A consular camp, ‘Life Certificate’ program was scheduled for 17 November at the temple, where people of Indian origin could renew the required life certificates.
“Please be aware that the Life Certificate event scheduled at the Brampton Triveni Temple by the Indian Consulate on November 17, 2024 has been canceled. This is due to official intelligence from Peel Regional Police stating that the threat level is extremely high And violent protests are imminent,” an official statement by the temple authorities read.
Consular camps are regular operations organized by Indian diplomatic missions in Canada, including the High Commission in Ottawa and Consulates in Vancouver and Toronto, to assist Indian nationals with various services such as life certificates.
Authorities have issued a public apology over the rising extremism and violent protests, saying, “We apologize to all community members who depended on this program. We are deeply saddened that Canadians now feel unsafe visiting Hindu temples in Canada.” Feel.”
“We call on the Peel Police to deal with the threats being made against the Brampton Triveni Temple and provide security guarantees to the Canadian Hindu community and the general public,” the temple administration said in its statement.
attacks on temples
Earlier this month, a temple in Brampton was attacked, following which the Indian government said it “condemns the incidents of violence perpetrated by extremists and separatists”. Brampton is a city in the Canadian province of Ontario.
India has called on Canada to ensure that all places of worship are adequately protected. “We also expect that those involved in such violence will be prosecuted,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said earlier this month.
The Indian High Commission also said that despite advance requests for stronger security measures, there was a “violent disruption” at the consular camp and that it feared for the safety of Indian nationals.
In another incident of violence, officials had to cancel their consular camps in Toronto over security issues, days after an attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton, Canada.
At the time, a State Department spokesperson said, “You may have seen the message posted by our Consulate in Toronto that they had to cancel the consular camp they were planning to hold over the weekend because they did not have enough supplies. Was found.” Security or security assurance from the host government.”
“That’s why these consular camps had to be cancelled. As you know, we have a large diaspora in Canada. Many of these people, especially around November and December, are here to pursue their pensions and other activities. Many documents are required to proceed to India. Therefore, our consular camp is helpful for the people of Indian nationality and people of Indian origin who may now be citizens of other countries. The spokesperson said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned the attacks, saying, “I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. The cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats are equally appalling. Such acts of violence We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law.

Last year, a Hindu temple was defaced in Windsor, Ontario, leading to widespread calls for action by both Canadian and Indian authorities. Temples were targeted in similar previous incidents in Brampton, drawing strong reactions from the Indian community in Canada.
